Jon. (well, you didn't say anything about weight)

An old 1498 works well, thumb works OK so does a few knuckles put in
the way of the handle as it spins. I finaly concluded the 1498 was
designed to hold enough line to let the fish go where it wanted and
still provied a connection to it. Stopping or slowing it while it was
on the way never entered the designers mind.
